How long does it take for a painted room to dry?


Question:just an average sized room, like a living room.

Answers:
Depends on the humidity, the air circulation, and how hot it is. If it's sunny out, nice temperature, and the windows are open it might take six hours. Check the back of your paint, because some need to dry overnight.

latex flat paint dries to touch in 1 and half-hour. It may be re-coated in 2 hours. Oil is 6-8 hours and can be recoated in 16 hours.
depends on the brand of paint. Latex dries faster than enamel, also depends on the weather @ your house, can you open windows and doors for air circulation? Should only take 1-2 hours..Read the directions on the paint can, it will give you the estimated time.
